I always knew as a kid that Rutland was the smallest County in England. I like the old traditional counties before the 1974 changes that have done their best to rub out history.
Apparently Rutland has only two towns as compared to villages. Oakham and Uppington. It came as no surprise to me that the Joint promoters probably had decided it was not worth bothering.
On the Spalding and District thread I revealed that in the early 1960's Jack Taylor was the promoter at Spalding and also did shows at Bourne and Stamford. Stamford sits right next to the boundary of Rutland just in Lincoln. So it is no real shock that Jack Taylor promoted at Oakham in Rutland.
The Victoria Hall does not look very big to me. I am struggling to see more than 300 spectators in there. Amazing how they made it pay.
I shall have a bit to show you on Rutland , unfortunately still no galleries and I have found a lot , but enjoy a few for now.
Keep em coming Graham. What great stories.
